my friend's computer has a dns error. I have seen it before and know that it usually means malware or a virus - something like that. I had previously installed all the adware, sbybot stuff on the computer but it still will not connect.

Is there anyway to fix the error to get on the internet without doing a hijackthis log?

The computer is running windows xp.

Also it was bought from someone selling off old work computers so I don't know if that could be causing problems as well. Looks like he cleaned out the work related material, put windows xp on it, and sold it off.

I appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

I tried to update the driver and it said that it cannot find a better one than the one that is installed.

The error shows up at the bottom of internet explorer. its says: opening page res//C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll\dnserror.htm
